Model Railroading > Need some help locating...Date: 02/11/20 10:38 Need some help locating... Author: hartrick24 I guess it's a type of ramp you would see at a car dealership. I think for only new cars that would be driven up the ramp so a buyer could see the under side of the car.
TIA Steve H... Date: 02/11/20 13:22 Re: Need some help locating... Author: PHall I have never seen a ramp like that at a car dealership. They eat up a huge amount of room which most car dealerships don't have enough of.
Which is why they use hoists. Date: 02/11/20 13:58 Re: Need some help locating... Author: toledopatch PHall Wrote:

A used car or one suspected of needing repair might warrant such an inspection, but not a new one. Date: 02/11/20 13:58 Re: Need some help locating... Author: SD608708 Steve are you thinking about the kind used for a lube lift or the kind that displays new cars?

At my Mobil refinery main office, I'd like one to have a 1/87 scale racecar with Mobil markings on it. My 14'x 31' layout should have the room. Steve H. Edited 1 time(s).

Never seen one for models.Would be easy enough to make one out of styrene. Most are square tube construction. Date: 02/12/20 13:12 Re: Need some help locating... Author: inyosub I plugged ...
Auto display ramp into the Shapeways search bar and got a whole bunch of them. In Various Scales shapeways.com is a great place to find the odd stuff the big manufacturers don't make. I found an early Ford Bronco (1st car) 3 wheeled Honda ATVs, and under car augers, all on their site. Just need those Ortner extensions (LOL) Date: 02/12/20 14:13 Re: Need some help locating...
